Canon, Sony, Nikon, Olympus DSLRs Compared

Gizmodo have compared the new Canon EOS 450D / Digital Rebel XSi, Nikon D60, Sony Alpha A350, and Olympus EVOLT E-420 Digital SLRs, to find out which is the overall winner. They've posted a second part here. The EOS 450D with 18-55mm IS kit is £584, the Nikon D60 with mm VR kit is £422, the Sony A350 body only is £539 and the Olympus EVOLT E-420 with kit lens is not available yet:

"This month, four eagerly awaited cameras all hit the market with a big ole thud: Canon's EOS Digital Rebel XSi, Sony's Alpha a350, Nikon's D60 and Olympus' E-420. They are not all evenly matched on paper, as you will see, and they certainly vary in price. But what's different about them, really? They are all aimed at people who wake up one morning and realize their point-and-shoot's pics are pretty crappy, people who don't consider themselves photographers but wouldn't mind spending a little money (under $1,000) to put those high-school photography lessons to practice with a decent body-and-lens kit."
